Same Time

Snowflakes dusted the asphalt, painting the ground white with an elegance that only they can create.

Down the street, two children were excitedly throwing snowballs at each other. Their innocent faces lighting up with joy, joy that mirrored the world's amazement at the scene. The blanket seemed unusual when replacing the familiar bright sun rays that danced around the streets.

Inhaling deeply, my gaze remains glued to the snowflakes as they fell. The collision between the cold and the beauty was so admirable, so effortlessly pretty. There always seems to be a shift within the entire atmosphere when the sky snows.

The world, even for a split second, stopped screaming.

I commented, eyebrows raised as I turned to look at my boyfriend. "I don't think you could leave even if you wanted to."

Shayden laughed, his mouth moving to press soft kisses down my throat, not taking my words seriously.

I could only grin, my hands on his broad shoulder and my back to the cold window. It had been more of the same all week; Shayden coming to mine once I was home from work and him from College and pinning me against some surface in the kitchen and kissing me breathless.

The elementary school that I worked at was closed today due to the snow, and all of Shay's lectures were cancelled. He stayed over last night and was in desperate need of a change of clothes but I very much doubted he'd be able to get home with how thick the snow on the roads was.

"It's rather stay here with you all day anyways." Shayden murmurs, his hands gripping my hips before sliding them over my ass and down my thighs.

I whimpered, running a hand through my own hair as Shayden's mouth dragged over my collarbone.

He was like a drug, exhilarating and I was so addicted to the feeling of him near me, touching me. And he never missed a chance to, whether it be just a hand on my thigh or our arms brushing next to each other.

"Fuck, I can't get enough of you." Shayden muttered softly, dragging his lips over my skin. I inhale deeply.

"Mhm." I breathed, threading my fingers his new curls and giving a light tug to pull his head back, so I could slide our mouths together again. "Me too."

Shayden let out a low sound, pressing his nose against my cheek as he kissed me again.

"We're going back to mine the moment we can get outside." Shayden whispered, kissing me quick and hard, his tongue pressing into my mouth.

"Yeah." I whimpered, one hand cupping the back of Shay's neck and the other sliding over his jaw. I planted a kiss there. "And then you can remind me of why our entire vacation to Cali was spent in that hotel room."

Shayden was silenced, his eyes darkening as lust pools into his irises. He goes to touch our lips together again but is interrupted by someone pounding on my door.

"Jaimee!"

I gasped, pulling away from Shayden and letting out a soft groan.

"Fucking bitch." I hiss, pecking Shayden's lips before going to my front door. "How is she here?"

"What?" I open it slightly to see a red-cheeked Libbie, who's pink hair is covered in tiny snowflakes. "It's like 9am and the snow has practically submerged the entire city. How did you even get here?"

"So dramatic." She sighs, shaking her head to try and get the snow out. She pushes past me and I slam the door shut. Curses repeat through my mind as I try to stop the reminder of Shayden's lips on my skin from making me blush.
